Default RE: How true is the saying "a bow kill is soo much...)

realize compounds are NOT bows, they're modern archery weapons - killing deer with compounds are vastly different than killing them with bows.

I know I know, that isn't a popular view, however, archery and bowhunting existed for thousands of years before wheels and pulleys and letoffs .... THAT was bowhunting and archery. Compounds were allowed and now, it seems like people think "bowhunting" and automatically envision a Mathews or Bowtech. There has been a turning point, that now bowhunting IS compounds, and recurve/longbows has been assigned "traditional archery"

Sorry, archery IS recurves and longbows. And there is an incredible difference in taking an animal with one of them vs taking one with a compound, not unlike taking a deer with compounds is a whole lot tougher than taking one with a rifle.

Acknowledgingdifficulty in differnt types of weapons isn't difficult, and its not bad, and its not divisive ......
